UK PS4 sales up 300 per cent thanks to Destiny Launch

While no specific figures were forthcoming – the number’s from ChartTrack: if you release the actual data you go to jail for 100 million years – it’s been confirmed that last week was PS4′s biggest of the year in Britain.

Although with just percentages these numbers mean less but in this case it outsold XB1 by a 2:1 ratio and XB1 had the added benefit of having the lower "average" selling price of £306 for the week. Even PS3 with it's low 4% of software sales beat X360 takes to bundles.

1) They had a year's head start. Then they capitalised on the momentum they started with the original Xbox.

2) They're getting their backsides handed over to them in their home territory.They are simply not the force they were last-gen

3) As big as the COD series is, its seeing a decline in sales, as can be seen from last year. Furthermore, the higher % of PS4 owners will chip away at the advantage this third party deal will have. Destiny was this fresh new IP with TONS of hype around it.

In fact, I'll be surprised if the X1 version of COD: AW sells more than the PS4 version but yeah, it will be interesting to see I guess.

I'm just saying. Don't be surprised if there's a boost in XBOX One sales, Call of Duty was probably the third party franchise that was most associated with XBOX 360, and the majority of Call of Duty fans played on XBOX 360.

True that the tables have a turned a bit this gen, but I just don't underestimate XBOX. So, I'm kind of ready to take a bit of damage when Call of Duty comes out and we see all the commercials marketing XBOX One with it.

That trend continues for a while put the XB1 outsells the PS4 version in some weeks but generally PS4 has outsold the XB1 version. I don't think it will have near enough of an effect for XB1. Even Madden in the US don't have a big boost in hardware and was outsold in software.

Baffled that a multiplatform game would cause this type of surge (though the sexy white ps4 probably influence the surge as well)... Expect these co-marketing deals to become even more popular in the future.... For better or for worse...

I don't think it will pull the same numbers either, but I'm hoping if has a decent boost. That probably won't happen until CoD:AW or :H:MCC bundles are released later this year. They will have much better marketing campaigns. Collectors like to get systems in different colors, sooo.. we'll see.
